Films of Zhang Yimou

The first film of his films I watched was Hero and I was blown away by his use of color. I just watched House of Flying Daggers and was again captivated by the beauty of this film. I was not at all surprised to find out that he is a former photographer. His shots are so well constructed and rich in color. Amazing…
I just read that he is the chief director for the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games in Beijing – 2008. I can’t wait.
